Reduce the Risks of Particulate Contamination, Seized and Galled Threads with Gall Resistant Fitting on UHP Pressure Gauge
Patrick McGrath | PressureReplacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate …
ASME BPE Study Leads to New Recommendations to Help Prevent Process Contamination
Patrick McGrath | Applications, PressureWIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Process engineers know for decades that “dead legs” in piping and …
